And I liked it.

Thalia appeared at my side, head tilted in open curiosity. She tentatively held a hand out, lifting her eyes to mine in permission.

“May I?”

Some foreign feeling invaded my chest.

Was I… Nervous?

I nodded, and her petite hand stroked the delicate membrane and one of the top bones.

A full-body shudder worked through me, and arousal flared to life deep in my belly.

She snatched her hand back as my wings snapped shut, folding tightly against my back.

Fuck.

“Sorry… I didn’t mean to?—

My response came out gruff.

“It’s fine.”

She nodded, her gaze running over me with admiration.

“They are… Truly breathtakingly beautiful.”

My heart flip-flopped in my chest, and I quickly shut out the entirely too warm and unwelcome feeling that flooded my chest.

Akash almighty, was I suddenly so starved for affection that I would be affected by a complete, albeit pretty, stranger?

I left Thalia standing there as I returned to myolana kah’hei.My thoughts steadfastly on Mareina.

“Where’s Mareina?”

Everyone remained silent, their unease practically cloying in the air.

Dread sank its talons into my gut.

Finally, Pomona’s throat worked on a rough swallow.

“She’s… She…”

“Miroslav took her and the blonde male somewhere,” Thalia finished for her as she sidled beside myolana kah’hei.

The ember of my jealousy and rage flared to life once more.

Had my ownsoulboundtried to kill me? And now left me forMalekai?

A flurry of questions infested my mind, each more crazed than the last. None of which they could answer.

“And … Zurie?”

The female who was apparently my mother.

At least by birth.

The very female I’d sent Mareina to kill. The Queen I’d loathed and spent the entirety of my life seeking to destroy.
